A United Nations official said the cholera outbreak in Haiti could spread to 200,000 people within the next three months, and that some 2,000 people had already died: "This epidemic is moving faster. It's going to spread." [Reuters]

A Miami woman returned from Haiti with a case of cholera. The disease has afflicted thousands in Haiti, but there hasn't been here since the '90s. But stay calm. No matter what newspeople say, none of you are at risk.

Haitian Health Ministry officials today said that 917 people have died in the last three weeks from cholera, which is festering in the relief camps set up after the January earthquake. 14,600 people have been hospitalized for cholera symptoms.

Wyclef Jean's campaign for President of Haiti ended before it even began. But that's not preventing him from releasing a new six-song EP called "If I Were President: My Haitian Experience." Wyclef! You are not and never will be president!

When people talk about Haiti, it's usually prefaced with something along the lines of "they just can't catch a break." Well, Haiti really can't. As of today, around 200 people have died, and thousands have been hospitalized for cholera.

New Jersey guy Wyclef Jean is still whining about being disqualified from a presidential election in a country that he doesn't live in. So he wrote a song! In it, he says the electoral council should be thrown in prison.

On Friday, Haiti's electoral committee disqualified New Jersey resident Wyclef Jean from running for president, and he issued a statement saying, "I respectfully accept the committee's final decision." That respect was short-lived, because he's now going to appeal the ruling.

New Jersey resident Wyclef Jean was rejected late yesterday by Haiti's electoral council in his bid to become president of Haiti. Though Jean is bowing out with "a heavy heart," now he can focus on spending his charity's money.

Wyclef's still insisting that he will be cleared to run for president of Haiti. Sure.

Reuters says Wyclef Jean isn't on the list of government-approved candidates for Haiti's November presidential election, which will be finalized tomorrow. Currently, Haitians only have a measly 34 candidates to choose from. Bet none of them have rented a lion!

Wyclef is still waiting for Haiti's electoral commission to rule on whether he can legally run for president there. In the meantime, he now says he's in hiding, thanks to death threats. Where is his lion when he needs it?

Wyclef's campaign for the presidency of Haiti has brought predictable scrutiny on his time at the head of Yele Haiti—the badly mismanaged charity whose problems have been cataloged here before. But there's more—he rented a lion! For charity?

Almost 200 years ago, Haiti (Saint-Dominigue) had to pay the equivalent of nearly €17 billion to France for an "independence debt" because of the money France lost after the slave revolt. Some people want France to pay it back.
